How do I adjust my wake to get more curl? <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/190849.jpg" alt="">

more weight in the back. If it gets too soft put a some weight in the front. It's hard to get a good rampy wake out of an i/o, it can be done, but it's harder than a inboard
|
I put a 500# sack on the floor in front of the seat and trim up as much as you can without cavatating. It gets a nice steep ramp to it
|
looks like you could lengthen your rope too. The wake is a bit steeper further back..
|
good eye CDM
|
start w/ easy variables first...speed, rope legnth, and trim. then start moving around the weight
|
right now we do 21 mph with 650 lbs in ski locker and 350 lbs in the bow walk way and the motor trimmed up about 1/4. <BR> <BR>cdm <BR>My son likes the short length because the wake is higher up front but you're right the wake is steeper further back. <BR> <BR>I guess I'll add weight to the back, just a bit concerned it my start to porpoise
|
With my i/o, the more weight I put in, the steeper it gets. I like it rampy, so I only use enough weight to be able to balance the boat. Could be hull design differences? But when it's just me and two more, I put 350 in the back of the boat. Wake is awesome for an i/o that way. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by grampawakerider on September 16, 2004)

Mark, <BR>YOu say you put 350lbs in the back. Do you have any in the front at the same time? <BR> <BR>What speed/length do you find is best? <BR> <BR>(Message edited by jmccallum on September 17, 2004)

i put just 450 pound fat sack in the back.
|
When it's just me and my son and my wife, I don't need to counterweight the front, it is a little slow to get going, but not bad. 65ft@ 22 mph. I'll post pics after next trip. (Tommorrow) Remember to trim just a bit too. Set up like this I trim about an eighth. When I weight the front I have to trim to a quarter or a little more, which causes more "bubbles" behind the boat.
